Hardware News   Hardware News : New Articia P specs and power point presentation of Articia I
   posted by Eric_S on 19-Mar-2004 23:49:02 (7084 reads)
The image that shows that the Articia P has received a speed bump (400Mhz DDR memory instead of 333Mhz and probably a bump of the CPU bus too) can be found here. This is the northbridge that will go into a future mATX board called the A1-XC according to Alan in his speech in Bath.

Original specs can be found on Mai's homepage, here.
The Power point presentation of the Articia I (p. 16) and Articia Is (p. 17), a IBM 970 capable northbridge from MAI logic, can be found here. And if you look at page 33 it mentions an OS4.

All of the above was found when digging through this page.

The Articia P has MPEG4 codec built-in, and Video processor with video link (S-video?? - hopefully HDTV componant out -- preety please!!!) - built-in. From another source:


Articia I you mean

And now for the important question. Did Alan gave any idea of how long it will be before we se an Amiga based on these new chipsets?


No, he never mentioned the Articia I in his speach in Bath.

He did mention however that the A1-XC will never see the light of day (or any new mobo for that matter I presume) if the sales of the current A1 and the µA1 are poor due to people holding back there money waiting for it (or some Articia I based solution).

I believe SCALA for Windows XP has the ability to create a RUNTIME of the entire presentation.........so that you are not required to have SCALA on each and every laptop or PC, and simply self executes regardless if you have SCALA or not....PowerPoint claims to do this, but you need extra software wich you have to pay for.

Scala on the Amiga allowed you to save as RUNTIMES to be able to show scala presentations on other Amigas because when you save it as a RUNTIME, it saves the ScalaPlayer with it.

Try for yourselves SCALA iPlay ( I think thats what its called) for Windows XP.............you'll see how great it is

"The presentation shows an Artica I based motherboard however, with a 970, 4 PCI-X slots, 3 PCI slots, AGP slot and 4 DDR-DIMM slots ... and a VIA southbridge still."

Wrong, the presentation shows the TeronPX2, this is an ArticiaP based board, and that no PPC970 either.

"Why bother with the southbridge anyway? "
Because it's integrated, it's cheaper, futhermore, people consider a PS/2 port still important.
You'll need an USB stack inside the BIOS, otherwise you won't be able to use the BIOS CLI.
And it takes more board space.
It's a shame that the ArticiaI doesn't have Hypertransport otherwise we would be able to use a more modern VIA southbridge.
But I guess that there will be an PCI<->S-ATA chip on future AmigaONEs and maybe even an PCI<->USB2.0 chip.

I was under the impression that PS2, floppy, etc, are actually functions of the SuperIO chip that connects to the LPC bus (which the Artica I. Is and P have). VIA does integrate this into their southbridges (at least their older ones) though.

I just want to get away from the nasty 686B, or the marginally better 8131 (as used on the Pegasos). It has a dubious past and integrates old technology.
